The velocity - time graph of a ball of mass 25g moving on road is as given below:
1 answer:
Assume that the ball rolls to the right.
From the velocity-time graph, the acceleration is
a = (0 - 10 m/s)/(4 - 0 s) = -2.5 m/²
Part (a)
Because the mass of the ball is 25g or 0.025 kg, the force that the road exerts on the ball is
F = (0.025 kg)*(-2.5 m/s²) = -0.0625 N
The force is negative because it acts in opposition to the motion of the ball.
Answer: 0.0625 N to the left.
Part (b)
The direction of the force exerted by the road is to the left because it opposes the motion of the ball to the right.
Part (c)
The unit force is 1 N (Newton), with the dimension (kg-m)/s².

The fraction of radioisotope left after 1 day is , with the half-life expressed in days
Explanation:
The question is incomplete: however, we can still answer as follows.
The mass of a radioactive sample after a time t is given by the equation:
where:
is the mass of the radioactive sample at t = 0
is the half-life of the sample
This means that the mass of the sample halves after one half-life.
We can rewrite the equation as
And the term on the left represents the fraction of the radioisotope left after a certain time t.
Therefore, after t = 1 days, the fraction of radioisotope left in the body is
where the half-life must be expressed in days in order to match the units.
